Medical Review Officer (MRO) Assistant Training-Assisting MROs Review and Reporting

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Kent Peterson discusses the role and responsibilities of the MRO assistant in reviewing drug test results from the laboratory. The MRO assistant is responsible for reviewing the custody and control form, conducting interviews with donors who have non-negative results, and reporting the results to employers. The MRO assistant must also review the results of clinical evaluations and report any safety concerns in the workplace. They must follow specific procedures for reviewing negative results, including stamping their initials on the custody and control form. The primary duty of the MRO assistant is to ensure the integrity of the drug testing process and to verify the validity of results. They must also offer the opportunity for donors with non-negative results to provide an explanation for their results. If any errors are found in the collection process, such as fatal flaws or correctable flaws, the MRO assistant must report them and offer error correction training if necessary. The video also discusses the differences between federally regulated and non-federally regulated drug testing, including variations in panel of drugs tested, custody and control form requirements, and procedures for reporting results. Finally, the video emphasizes the importance of confidentiality and record keeping in the drug testing process.
